 * Hi,
 * Wonderful plugin, thank you for creating and spending so much time refining it.
 * I have 2 languages set – English and Chinese. English is set as default.
 * I have created 2 menus and set them accordingly. I have added the language switcher
   buttons to both. When I click a navigation link on the front end it switches 
   correctly to the Chinese menu, but clicking any other link resets it back to 
   English. Why is this happening? I can see the cookie going from en to cn back
   to en.
 * – The language is set from the directory name in pretty permalinks (Yes)
    – The
   front page url contains the language code instead of the page name or page id(
   Yes)
 * I don’t have it online yet, still working locally.

 * I found out what was wrong. I had added the Chinese menu items from the pages**
   before** I had created the Chinese equivalent, thus the links were pointing to
   the English menu. After creating the Chinese version I removed the menu and added
   them back which and then the links pointed to the correct language.
